A single-phase circuit containing a resistor, an inductor and a capacitor is shown in Figure 12.1. You will recall that the phase relationship between the voltage and the current in a circuit element depends on the nature of the element, in other words, is it an R or an L or a C? This means that in an a.c. circuit you cannot simply add the numerical values of V R , V L and V C together to get the value of the supply voltage V S ; the reason for this is that the voltage phasors representing V R , V L and V C ‘point’ in different directions relative to the current on the phasor diagram. To account for the differing ‘directions’ of the phasors, you have to calculate V S as the phasor sum of the three component voltages in Figure 12.1.
